Barcelona have officially confirmed that Frenkie de Jong will sign a new long-term contract with the club on Wednesday, extending his stay at the Camp Nou until June 2029. The new deal includes a release clause set at a massive €500 million, effectively securing the Dutch midfielder’s future in Catalonia for the foreseeable future.
De Jong’s contract renewal ends months of speculation surrounding his future, with several European giants, including Manchester United and Bayern Munich, previously linked with a move for the 27-year-old. However, the Dutchman has once again demonstrated his commitment to Barça, a club he joined from Ajax in 2019 for €75 million.
Since arriving in Spain, De Jong has been a vital part of Barcelona’s midfield, known for his composure, passing accuracy, and tactical intelligence. Despite persistent rumours about a possible exit during the club’s financial struggles, the Netherlands international repeatedly stated his desire to remain at Barcelona and contribute to their rebuilding project.
